Greetings,

The purpose of this blog post is to detail the steps necessary to set the Power Off key-binding for the Pinebook in i3 window manager.  We don't want the Pinebook to come crashing down if we accidentally touch the poweroff button -- so we'll set a key-binding that makes sense requiring at least two other keys , for instance the $mod key and the Shift key.  The following key-binding should bring the system down cleanly ( and power off properly ) without prompting for a password:

       $mod+Shift+XF86_PowerOff 

The key-binding will be placed in the i3 config;  but I'm getting ahead of myself.  The first step is to build the poweroff script in /usr/local/sbin/

Pb_poweroff.sh

Sorry if this is a dumb or frequently asked question, but is there a working Octoprint build for the Rock64? I’m weighing up going the easy route and just just getting a Raspberry Pi, but I do like the idea of having a board with a bit more grunt or processing headrooom that the Rock64 seems to offer.

Many thanks in advance.

There is an item in the store:
1 Meter Length USB to Type H Barrel Power Cable
https://www.pine64.org/?product=1-meter-...ower-cable

Is this cable barrel compatible with the Rock64 Board?

Hello!
I installed ubuntu Mate on my pines, I'd like to share folders between them and windows...

In regular ubuntu, if you right click on a folder there is a sharing option, I don't see that in Mate.

Can anyone tell me please how to share folders between the pines and windows?

Thanks!

Hello Everyone

I really enjoy this Rock64 so far

Unfortunatelly, I have an issue with my USB 3.0 drive resulting in a frozen state :-(

I'm using this TerraMaster USB drive (http://www.terra-master.com/html/en/arti..._1190.html) as a RAID1 USB 3.0 drive solution, it's working, but something is wrong, sometimes, while transfering data via SMB copy,the rock64 end up frozen. Why I try to SSH or anything, the Rock64 is completely frozen. So I have to unplug/replug the power cable.

I don't know how to deal with this issue, but I can see this error message during boot https://pastebin.com/Fi3XsPcY

Maybe it's the TerraMaster the problem I don't where to start

OS: Ubuntu Xenial minimal

Wondered about the recommended method of powering down Rock64 running Android. Found a post in the Pine64 section from 2016. Here's what I experienced.
1. Short press of the power button on Rock64 = blanks the screen. Short press a second time brings up the screen.
2. Long press of the power button on Rock64 = displays power off / restart dialog box. Defaults to power off, press Enter, Rock64 powers off. Arrow down to Restart, then Enter, Rock64 says powering down, and then it restarts.
3. Restarting via the settings menu (Settings - About - Restart) also restarts but I couldn't find anything in settings about shutting down.
4. Pressing the reset button on Rock64 = resets (probably not recommended, doesn't correctly close first, just hard reset like pulling the power?).
5. If off - pressing the power button = powers it up, pressing the reset button = powers it up.
I assume my results are by design. If not, best method for powering down?  Don't want to corrupt the eMMC. Thanks.

NOTE: base Android, not Android TV build. Not sure if the results would be the same.

Is it ever possible to upgrade the RAM on a PineBook?

No Rock yet so haven't tried.

Hi,

I'm about to order the Rock64 for a NAS project.
I'm going to build the Rock64 inside a 4bay case (like Chenbro SR30169 or similar).
I made a schematic how I thought to build it.

Here is my community build. Kernel is build as 64bit with 32bit Userspace. It means you can use 32bit armhf packages. I've been doing these builds for a while now for Odroid C2, WeTek.Hub and WeTek.Play2. The benefit in using 32bit packages with an aarch64 kernel is we can use retroplayer emulators that only compile for armhf and we can use precompiled libwidevine to play DRM protected content with Kodi through inputstream.adaptive.

Special thanks go to @peak3d for implementing the great inputstream plugin that makes DRM work with kodi.
Also special thanks to @Kwiboo, @longchair and @omegamoon for the great Rockchip work. These builds are based on kwiboo's LE tree.
And last but not least thanks to @tllim for providing me a Rock64 developer sample.


DISCLAIMER: This is a community build of LibreELEC. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Tar upgrade from "pure" aarch64 builds might work. Use the following steps:
